Stealth becomes obsolete
Missile defenses get better
BVR combat becomes basically impossible
Everybody always knows where everybody else is
Sixth generation fighters Retvrn to being purpose-built dogfighters/interceptors
No. Humans in aircraft are on the way out. Drones are the future. When the drones are significantly cheaper than the missiles used to shoot them down, logistics inevitably wins.
its gonna be factories spending all our resources and polluting the planet further just so robots can fight robots, and the robots who win get to slaughter or enslave the civilians.
ww3 is gonna be the dumbest war so far
Oh I never said it would be humans piloting the sixth gen dogfighters. They're gonna be drones designed to withstand sustained 20G turns to be able to get their guns on target, commanded from something like an AWACS.

Full Gallente.
Sadly the PLAAF has already made their statement on that...
This is true of current gen air combat, but I'm speculating about a future where dogfighting once again becomes the only way to achieve air superiority.
It's like in dune and other things where they have shields against guns so they have to use blades again
The pure "Nah removed WE losin" energy of the shield detonation problem is beautiful to behold
